    My First Sound Presence Deluxe III-Si 4.0 preamp with Paramount Special Edition upgrade

    The problem is you can't justify your statement with evidence - demonstrating the post to be complete BS - unjustifiably denigrating a quality niche product & that is very disappointing...

    My First Sound Presence Deluxe III-Si 4.0 preamp with Paramount Special Edition upgrade

    There's only 2 that I can find - 1 in the US - 1 in japan. None on Audiogon or any via Hi Fi Shark which is where I would go searching for Hi Fi gear. Never thought to look at Ebay for HI Fi gear because what is usually on sale is rubbish and/or has a price that is unrealistic.

    My First Sound Presence Deluxe III-Si 4.0 preamp with Paramount Special Edition upgrade

    Well - no there's not any for sale at the moment - not one - so I don't know where you get your information from. Therefore your assumption that "Lots of them for sale on the used market, always a bad sign" is just complete BS. Why make the comment if its not true...

    WOW - now that came from left field - not overly surprised though - as I posted previously - the dual FLH sound had a sensational sense of realism. Please keep us up to date on the progress & wish Bill all the best from me - his build posts were THE BEST...

    SET amp owners thread

    Hi - the difference for me is significant. @bonzo75 VID sounds like I'm at the venue where the strings are playing. The VID you posted sounds like I'm listening to a VERY GOOD horn setup but doesn't present the same "you are there" magic - at least to me. I am sure others will have differing...

    New TAD M700 & M700S

    What a load of BS & demonstrates your complete lack of knowledge of 100/110 volt in Japan/US versus 220/240 volt in Europe/Pacific - sigh...

    Would love to hear more about these - the GM-70 seems to be a tube that is largely ignored & I'm not sure why...

    Not a big orchestral fan - BUT - that amp & speaker combo is superb - tone - balance - texture - cohesion - a beautiful reproduction. Hang on to that amp Bill...

    My assessment as well - the instruments sounded great - the voice lacking in tone - love the song...

    Munich show 2023 Hifideluxe and MOC .

    I'll take piano &/or vocals for determining if playback is up to scratch or not - then test the playback with a complex music piece - I'll leave the drum test for others to use...

    Munich show 2023 Hifideluxe and MOC .

    Why would anyone use a drum solo for a speaker demo - other than to demonstrate attack & decay. For voice & instrument reproduction the Kawero's were my choice from the VIDS you have posted on this page...

    All New Yamaha NS 5000 Speakers..... World-Beaters ?

    So let me understand this - because its assembled in Malaysia its is somehow less then what it could be if assembled in Japan. If its cheaper to assemble in Malaysia - surely that benefits the consumer (you would hope) as well as the principle company. No different to Apple or Samsung phones -...

    Oh ye of little faith - you obviously don't know Phil that well - I don't either - never met the guy in fact BUT he is the one of the very few people whose occasional thoughts & opinions I trust - he is a purist & tells it like it REALLY is - without fear or favour & almost everything I have...

    Atma-Sphere Class D Mono blocks

    Really - algorithms to determine a sound of an amp - is that what AC do - you represent them so you should know.

    Atma-Sphere Class D Mono blocks

    Thank you for the response - that is very much appreciated - how many manufacturers produce said graphs assessed by an independent tester (the good - the bad - the ugly) & produce them for viewing you refer to as standard business practice - haven't seen one yet in my time...
